An SQA quality tracking methodology

Abstract

The author presents a method for regularly tracking and reporting on a short-term basis (weekly or bimonthly) the quality progress of software development. The report generated is useful for both the qualitative and quantitative tracking and prediction of quality within the software development process. It is applicable to software quality assurance, testing, and development organizations. The report format is purely textual, without graphs, and therefore easy to update and present regularly.<>
